Abstract

In the first two chapters of Part 1, we have argued (i) that a commitment to the existence of authoritative rational intuitions is rationally obligatory, and (ii) that the experimentalist critique of intuitions not only fails to have any critical purchase on a theory of authoritative rational intuitions but in fact presupposes their indispensability. The present chapter goes after similar neo-rationalist conclusions, but from a somewhat different point of view.
